Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 795 Air Combat
"How is it possible?" Hermione's face froze. "Our cheapest air unit is 200 meritorious four Gralings. How could they afford it?"

"There's a broomstick on the opposite side!" Wood seemed to have found the target, pointing to a few black spots above the woods in the distance, "Look, those guys are patrolling along the route from Stronghold No. [-] to Stronghold No. [-], obviously searching for Our scouting unit."

"What? Are their broomsticks very cheap? How can they be exchanged so quickly?" Hermione seemed to think of something, and was suddenly startled. "Then if they exchanged a large number of broomsticks, wouldn't we be held back?" on the ground?"

"No!" Wood shook his head. "There are very cheap flying units on the opposite side, but we also have very cheap anti-aircraft weapons. Have you forgotten those [Scattering Cannons] that can be exchanged for only 50 merit points?"

"I was wondering why there is such cheap air defense equipment. It turns out that the flying props on the attacking side are also very cheap."

Wood cursed in his heart, why didn't he realize this earlier, and now they are passive.

"Killing an enemy can get 2 points of merit. If the price of those flying broomsticks is the same as [Scattering Cannon], counting the people we killed in battle and the output of No. 1 stronghold, they can exchange everything for one. Set up broomsticks." Hermione also reacted at this time.

As they entered the battlefield dungeon for the first time, the biggest obstacle was that they didn't know what combat equipment the opponent could exchange for from the quartermaster.

Anyway, the list of merit exchanges on their side is full of props and mercenaries that are more defensive, such as sandbags for building trenches, various artillery, traps, and the like.

Before, Wood guessed that the opponent's exchange items were offensive materials, but he didn't expect that there would be a cheap aerial vehicle like a broomstick.

"Then what should we do now?" Hermione suddenly thought, "The reconnaissance team is killed, they will definitely send people to fight for position 3, should we take the opportunity to launch a counterattack to position 1?"

"Counterattack?" Wood frowned in confusion, "But what if the other party hasn't sent anyone to take action, isn't this just falling into their trap? And now the mountain road is beaten into such a ghostly look, and there is no cover at all." No, the difficulty of our offense is not lower than theirs."

The battlefield in the copy of the Battle of Hastings is basically a jungle environment, and it is difficult to see distant enemies clearly with the naked eye.

It seems that in the field of view of Wood's telescope, you can't see what happened in the valley at all, you can only see a few people on broomsticks hovering above.

Therefore, when fighting in this area, what has the greatest impact on them is the field of vision, and the passage leading to the No. [-] position has been beaten bare at this time.

Now when Percy and the others attack from the No. [-] position, they have to crawl close on the ground, otherwise they will not even be able to get close to the outermost position, let alone counterattack downwards, they will not even have a chance to crawl forward .

"Then you can't just watch, can you?" Hermione knew that the risk of counterattack was great, but such dry defense was too passive.

"Do you want to send one or two teams to support the No. 3 position from another direction?" Hermione suddenly thought, "The other side will not be able to react for a while, and with some defensive equipment, we should be able to withstand it!"

"This is indeed a solution, but the biggest trouble now is that the intelligence is restricted." Wood was a little confused, "If we don't regain the advantage of intelligence, we will still be in a passive state."

While talking, the news that the second reconnaissance team was also killed came from Wood's ear.

"No, you can't let those guys do whatever they want in the sky." Wood looked at Hermione and said decisively, "We have accumulated a lot of merits now, I will exchange for a set of Gralings now, you and Ron, Draco, Zhang Qiu also rushed out to find a way to kill them and get back the investigative rights."

"No problem!" Hermione immediately took the order, and turned around to find the other three companions.

Soon, four gray horses with ribs and wings appeared in the stronghold.

Graling is one of the four flying horses together with the rune horse, thestrals, and Iseron. The characteristic of Graling is that it sprints extremely fast. It may not be as flexible and obedient as the rune horse, but it is also faster than Iseron. Much more docile.

These Gralings are covered with a thick layer of armor. After checking the attributes, everyone found that each of them has a shield value of 500 points. Only when the shield is broken can it be counted as death and sent away. .

"Good guy, this is much better than ordinary broomsticks!" Ron excitedly climbed onto a Graling, and after trying it out, he found that these Pegasus were very obedient, apparently professionally trained.

"Don't delay, get back the air supremacy as soon as possible, and don't forget to report it in time if you find ground information during the period!" Wood saw another wave of enemies rushing up from the front line, and rushed to support immediately after saying hello.

"Don't worry, watch me beat the shit out of them!" Ron shouted confidently, and then jumped out of the cliff with his horse's belly.

Hermione, Draco, and Zhang Qiu beside him followed closely behind, leaping into the air together, and flying towards the position where Harry had just appeared last.

At first, the four of them thought that they would have to search for each other before they could find each other, but to their surprise, they bumped into the four of Harry head-on not long after they took off.

"Don't even think about going through here, I advise you to catch them as soon as possible!" Ginny yelled as she rushed out of the woods below, obviously she had been lying in ambush here for a long time.

"Just because of that broken wooden stick under your buttocks, you still want to fight us? You want to die!" Draco was worried that he couldn't find them, but he didn't expect that the other party would appear by himself, so he pushed his horse's head to meet him head-on go up.

So just after the two groups of talents met, an air battle broke out. Members of both sides rushed towards the opponent at the same time, and waved their wands to throw their best spells at the opponent.

"Except your weapons!"

"All petrochemical!"

"Spiral Impact!"

"The cold blade is unsheathed!"

"Lightning strike!"

The colorful magic bullets, like sharp arrows from bows, burst out with crackling noises, and galloped towards their respective opponents.

Facing the attack coming directly, those with good flying skills will roll and dodge, and those who are confident in fighting skills will hold up their wands to parry.

For a while, not only were all kinds of spells flying in the sky, but people were also cruising around. Soon, the 8 people fought up and down, left and right, and looked like a group of miniature fighter jets chasing and shooting each other in the air.

Among them, Harry drew a beautiful arc in the air with his superb flying skills, dexterously circled behind Ron, and cast a lightning spell on his good brother's ass.

But to his surprise, although his spell hit Ron solidly, it didn't shoot down or even hurt him.

The reason was that when Harry's spell was about to hit the opponent, the Pegasus under Ron actually lit up a shield, completely blocking his spell.

"Oops!" Harry screamed badly, and then shouted at the rest of his teammates, "Their Pegasus has its own shield, don't fight with them!"

"It's too late to find out now!" Hermione sneered, and then forcefully resisted a spell, and hit Neville's broom with a flame with her backhand.

Neville, whose tail was on fire, had not had time to control the constantly shaking broom before it was turned into white light by several damage-replenishing spells.

When the other three on the attacking side saw this, they immediately realized that it was not good. The opponent's flying vehicle was obviously better than their own, and they could only suffer losses if they continued to fight like this.

So the three of them pressed their brooms decisively and descended to the woods below, trying to use the terrain to deal with Hermione and the others.

Up to this point, they still had no intention of retreating. Anyway, the task had been completed, and now they could delay it for as long as they could.

"Want to run? Chase!"

Ron and the others have also experienced the power of Pegasus at this time, and indeed expensive things are expensive for a reason.

Immediately afterwards, the four of them chased after Harry and the others, and started a pursuit battle in the woods. From a long distance, they could see the continuous bursts of smoke and magic aura.

Fortunately, Harry, Ginny, and Cedric all used broomsticks all year round, and their flying skills were quite proficient. With the help of trees, they could barely hold on, but they could only scurry around and couldn't fight back.

But just as the pursuit battle was in full swing, a turning point appeared!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A series of five wizards suddenly appeared in front of Harry and the others on broomsticks, and the leader was Neville who had just been resurrected.

"I've brought people to meet you! Fight back!" Neville excitedly shouted at Harry and the others as if he was unhappy about being shot in the air before.

"Why did you bring people here?" Harry was surprised when he saw this, but he knew that Percy sent three small teams to secretly attack No. 3 stronghold after they finished the first scouting team.

The segmented attack used on the frontal battlefield is actually to confuse the defender with the number of people, making the opponent think that they are dividing the personnel into three equal parts to attack the position continuously.

So after seeing Neville bringing a small team over, Harry immediately realized that, excluding them and the three small teams going to position 3, wouldn't there be only 30 people left in the front?Isn't Percy afraid of accidents?

"Don't worry!" Neville said with a calm smile while beckoning his companions to stop Hermione and the others, "We have taken down the third position! Many of them returned to the first position after being killed. "

"And..." Neville suddenly rode a broom close to Harry and said in a low voice, "Percy will also make a big move here, and we have to rush to support after we finish Hermione and the others."

"Understood!" Harry nodded reassuringly after hearing this, and greeted Cedric and Ginny, then turned the broom head and launched a countercharge at the enemy.

When Hermione and the others saw reinforcements coming from the opposite side, their first reaction was not to be afraid, but to continue to rush towards the opponent vigorously. After all, they had already experienced the power of Graling, so they subconsciously did not release these broomsticks. in the eyes.

But soon they realized what a numerical advantage is. The 8 broomsticks were like 8 annoying sparrows, surrounding the four of them, shooting a spell from time to time, which made them dizzy.

"No! You can't fight with them." Hermione saw that the armor value of her Pegasus dropped, and knew that she couldn't continue the stalemate.

Although these Gralings are powerful, they are also very expensive!

If you exchange your Pegasus with the broomstick on the opposite side, it's really a loss to grandma's house.

"Let's lead them back to the base! Ask Wood to help!" Hermione greeted, and then took the lead to turn around on Pegasus.

Upon hearing Hermione's words, the other three immediately reacted and immediately followed Hermione's actions.

Obviously the air units on the offensive side have an advantage over them, but the defensive side is not without solutions.

And such a withdrawal showed Graling's speed advantage, and immediately threw the eight broomsticks to the back of his head.

In fact, this was also the reason why Harry and the others didn't choose to retreat just now, because with the basic broomsticks under them, they couldn't escape Graling's pursuit at all.

When Harry and the others saw this, they immediately chased after them. They were even more delighted when they discovered that they were fleeing from the No. 2 position. After all, they planned to go there to support.

After chasing and catching up like this, this large group of people soon came to the sky above the No. 2 position, and only then did everyone realize that the situation here is also in chaos.

At this time, at the forefront of the battlefield, a large black mist that could not be dispelled by the blowing spell appeared at some point. This black mist spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it was not known what was inside the mist.

This was obviously specially prepared by Percy for a new round of offensive, and it was unknown how many matt talismans he had exchanged for it.

The defenders in the No. 2 position faced the situation in front of them and could not see the environment at all. At first, they could only blindly fire a few spells, but listening to the movement obviously had little effect.

Wood quickly stopped everyone from wasting magic power, and instead took the initiative to give up the outermost trench and shrink the front to the inner ring.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders soon knew the enemy's purpose, and when everyone was fully alert, two giant monsters in armor suddenly appeared in front of them!
"Ow!!"

Two trolls, one holding a spiked sledgehammer and the other holding a rusty anchor, rushed out of the smoke howling, and at the same time, there were a large number of murderous attacking wizards behind them.

Percy's attack has begun!

"kill!"

Percy, who has been in charge of the command, also appeared at the forefront of the position at this time. As soon as he rushed out, he shouted loudly. A wizard emerging from the trenches.

And those two giant monsters were even more ferocious. Relying on their thick armor, they slammed into the sandbag wall in front of them, and smashed a big hole in the fortification with several swings of their weapons.

Those wizards who followed up directly used the two giant monsters as their cover, lined up in two tight columns, and rushed out of the smoke one by one.

Obviously, they used this method to not lose their way in the cloud of smoke. Looking at their vicious looks, it seemed that they had already suffocated enough anger in their hearts, and they were going to take this opportunity to vent it out!
